I wasn't getting touchy. I was simply informing the original post that there
is a seperate list for non-linux questions. We've lost members in the past
because the brief amount of time they were on the list their was more
non-linux talk than there was linux talk.
i enjoy (and even start) the occasional thread. I was just illustrating
to the poster and other new members that we *do* have a forum where this
thread is on-topic and not off-topic.

An occasional Microgreed question isn't going to destroy the list. And, there is an awful lot talent available here. As for the original question I would advise getting a copy of Partition and Bootmagic 5 or above. Set up two NT partitions and load the Microscruff OSs in them and use bootmagic to select which one will boot. It also comes in handy if you want to install a legitimate OS (Linux) on the same box with Gates' crash cookies.

Of course it has Linux on it (Mandrake 8.1), what good would it be without Linux? Randy Donohoe ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Practical? No! Remember we're talking about two unstable time bombs here on the same partition, who undoubtedly don't expect the other to be there. Swap files? I would only do this for pure amusement - not if I wanted any serious productivity; windoze is the epitome of Murphy's Law "If anything can possibly go wrong, it will, and at the most inconvenient time for it".

RE: Windows (OT)
Yes you can install both on the same drive. Do the NT4 install first then install Win 2000 into a different directory. Since the registries will be separate all applications will need to be installed under each OS. You can install the Applications into the same directories with no problems.

I ran for a while with NT on d: and '95 on c: with linux out of that particular frame. Also, if your first partition is linux, windoze usually survives because it's ignored when the drive letters are being handed out. c: has to be on a primary, bootable partition, iirc. -- Regards, Declan Moriarty Applied Researches - Ireland's Foremost Electronic Hardware Genius A Slightly Serious(TM) Company Experience is like a comb, that Life gives you - AFTER all your hair has fallen out! ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I have sit up triple boot systems running NT workstation, win2k and Linux. You just have install windows first which make it easier down the road to manage.
